Which is a true statement about an isosceles right triangle? a. the hypotenuse is square root 3 times as long as either leg. b. the hypotenuse is square root 2 times as long as either leg. c. each leg is square root 2 times as long as the hypotenuse. d. each leg is square root 3 times as long as the hypotenuse.

B. The hypotenuse is square root 2 times as long as either leg.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B.

Let's use Pythagoras to prove it.

In this case since its an isoceles right triangle, a and b most be the same.

Let's say that the measure of the sides that are equal is x and the hypotenuse is h.

Pythagoras tells us the following:

Solving for h:

The hypotenuse is square root 2 times as long as the sides, in this case x wich could be any number.
